Handpull cask from the Blue Boar, Leicester. Very dark brown and only slightly translucent with a large khaki head. I'm getting some ground coffee, ash, earth in the aroma. Following this, the taste is unexpectedly sweet with that creamy milk stout note, some sweetened plum. Long sweet finish with more stone fruit in the aftertaste. Medium body with soft carbonation. Nailed the style.

440ml can as part of a delivery from Hops & Dots and drunk at home. Very dark brown and opaque with a quickly dissipated khaki head. Light notes of ground Robusta coffee and caramel sauce. Tastes sweet at first but there’s a blackberry/plum sourness early on. Short to medium finish will chocolate, plum and vanilla bean in the aftertaste. Reasonably good.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours almost black with a small off-white head. Chocolate and lactose to the fore in the aroma. In the mouth the texture is sweet and milky, but tending towards watery after a while. Some nice roasted malt notes, but not much else, with coffee and chocolate making cameo appearances. More coffeee in the finish though. Not bad but a little bland.
